The man has actually come to tell his lover that he wants to leave her, but as soon as he walks in he realises he won't be able to tell her. The woman rolls a joint. They smoke it. And as they drift into another state of mind, he approaches the border zones between being and nonbeing, between living and imagining. Or is it between life and death?

Reviews for Love

A hypnotically beautiful novel * Daily Telegraph * This is not a tale of a love gone mad, but of the madness of love itself * Express on Sunday * Sliding imperceptibly from prose into poetry, Nadas creates an intense atmosphere that mingles fear with love * Scotland on Sunday * A romantic, anguished, searching work * Sunday Times *
